iOS 4.2 Beta 3 Changes: New SMS Tones, iPad Changes, AirPlay Missing?
HDBlog.it and AppAdvice detail the changes found in the latest iOS 4.2 beta that was released earlier today. Beta 3 appears to improve performance and fixes a number of bugs, but also introduces some small new features.
- New tones for SMS
- iPad: Enable/Disable alert sounds for New Mail, Sent Mail, Calendar Alerts, Lock Sounds, Keyboard Clicks
- Minor graphical changes
We've heard that Apple has removed the AirPlay feature from various spots in this build. This may be a temporary removal, and we could see it return in the final builds.

Whoot for more SMS tones!
I need something simple and less obnoxious. Maybe a single beep or tone that doesn't reverberate for ever? Lol

Can you set custom SMS tones? I always thought that was a missing feature people would like.

I second that, the 6 that they have given us really wear out quick

Coming together nicely. It would be nice to see what battery performance is like on the iPad now.

Having more SMS tones is a great thing, and having custom ones would be even better.
The worst is when you go to an Apple store and you hear someone with the same SMS tone as you getting a message, since the chances are someone has the same one because there is so few to choose from. It's not just the Apple store either, it happens all the time when I am out. I change my SMS tone every so often but it doesn't help, there is always someone with the same one and it causes me to look at my phone thinking it came from mine.

I like the new Bookmarks bar, it's starting to look more like the Mac. Nice! :)
Unless I am missing something, ive had a bookmarks bar since day one. You can turn it on in safari settings
